Detailed Solution

Let the ellipse be x2a2+y2b2=1(a>b) Equation of auxiliary circle is x2+y2=a2

 Consider P(θ),Qθ+2π3 and Rθ+4π3 be three

points on auxiliary circle then corresponding vertices of triangle

whose vertices lie on ellipse are

Question Image

P(acos θ,bsin θ),Qacos θ+2π3,bsin θ+2π3and Racos θ+4π3,bsin θ+4π3

Now centriod of triangle P'Q'R'=(x1+x2+x33,y1+y2+y33)=(0,0) Which is centre of ellipse
